The ISS orbits at an altitude between 360-440 km

The generally accepted "border" between space and earth is the Karman line which is only about 100km up

People are complaining about pics from the ISS? I thought they must be talking about Mars or something. ISS pics are usually amazing.

Even the Mars pics are great these days. There are some awesome photos over at [email protected].
